This talk will discuss some system issues related to sharing virtual memory between CPU and GPU, which brings new challenges: GPU page faults, flashing a TLB on GPU, etc. We will also describe ESFIR - an SVM prototype, and XTHREAS - a new SVM programming models, which extends pthread semantics to GPU.
